I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Meta in Dec 2017
Interview
The whole phone interview process was pretty straight forward. I was asked to solve some algorithm questions, using my preferred coding language. The key point of getting a successful coding interview is setting up very clear objectives before real work: what does the question mean, what are the meanings of concept mentioned in the question, what data structure or algorithm I am going to use and can my solution compute the expected outcome.

no referral, directly applied online.
1 takehome with blue jean
2 technical rounds
- easy lc in first round
- easy-medium lc in second round
that was sufficient for intern level interview
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Meta
Interview
First step in person (University recruiting), two coding problems at the blackboard and 5 minutes for questions to the interviewer.
Second step remotely. A quarter behavioural and the rest three quarters of an hour for 2 coding problems.
I felt a strong connection to the interviewers.

Question 1
Motivations that brought me there.
Questions about SWEish experiences I had through my university career, both general (topic like particular challenges, collaboration) and more specific (experience with particular libraries).
Did the OA, the OA was 4 questions, passed, and then had an interview with a software engineer at Meta - still waiting to hear results back! I took it yesterday so fingers crossed
